Who Is Ms. Marvel?

Kamala Khan is the first Muslim character to headline a a Marvel comic. She’s lives in Jersey City, New Jersey. The series was written by G.Willow Wilson and drawn by Adrian Alphona. She first appeared in 2013.

In relation to the relevance of her religion, Marvel editor Sana Amanat states,

“As much as Islam is a part of Kamala’s identity, this book isn’t preaching about religion or the Islamic faith in particular. It’s about what happens when you struggle with the labels imposed on you, and how that forms your sense of self. It’s a struggle we’ve all faced in one form or another, and isn’t just particular to Kamala because she’s Muslim. Her religion is just one aspect of the many ways she defines herself.”
